‘Corduroy’ marks the return of visionary art-folk duo Memorial. Their sound is defined by an uncanny ability to craft an atmosphere brimming with warmth, both from tender acoustic guitar accompaniments and alluring lead vocals. This particular cut is more upbeat and driving, with a sense of glorious optimism underpinning it. They describe this release as “the actualisation of a feeling. It was written in the residual joy following a perfect day. One of those days that hits a sweet spot - The weather holds out, it's so unplanned but all your friends seem to be available, no effort is required to feel comfortable and your mind is so spacious that it has enough room to simultaneously be present in the moment and witness it as an out-of-body experience.” ‘Corduroy’ is the pair’s first release since their self-titled debut record dropped. Keep an eye out for more now that they’re back. -Dan Peeke
